RESUMEN
Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes may improve the efficacy and/or safety of some medications. This is facilitated by increased availability and affordability of genotyping, the development of clinical practice PGx guidelines and regulatory support. However, the common occurrence of CYP phenoconversion, a mismatch between genotype-predicted CYP phenotype and the actual CYP phenotype, currently limits the application of PGx testing for precision dosing in psychiatry. This review proposes a stepwise approach to assist precision dosing in psychiatry via the introduction of PGx stewardship programs and innovative PGx education strategies. A future perspective on delivering precision dosing for psychiatrists is discussed that involves innovative clinical decision support systems powered by model-informed precision dosing.
